Wheel Spacer?
 
What is this?
Why is it only on the right side of my truck?
Do I need another one?
If so, where do I get it, besides the dealer?

Encountered it when turning the rotors yesterday. It sits on the wheel studs, behind the wheel. I must have encountered it last time I had the wheels off, but I do not remember. :confused:

Thanks,
Chris

That is Dodge's fix for the "Drifting to the right" syndrome.
It spaces the one wheel out to "correct" the front end geometry.

It's not always on the right side and can unknowingly get moved to the wrong place, even the rear, if stuck to the back of the wheel in a tire rotation. Most folks who have removed the spacer say that it made no difference in handling or pull.

i just had my tires rotated and noticed a slight pull to the right could this be the issue. i had the wheels aligned and it still did it. i will have to check that out.

Mine had a spacer on the right side when I bought it. I can't find it now. Must have got lost during tire/wheel changeouts. I do have a pull to the left and have replaced everything on the front end including the steering box. Could this be my problem??
